IQMS To Serve Manufacturers In Asia; First Office Opens In Taiwan

IQMS, developers of EnterpriseIQ, one of the leading enterprise software (ERP) solutions for repetitive, process and discrete manufacturing environments, today announced it is expanding to serve manufacturers throughout Asia. The company has formed IQMS Asia, a subsidiary, to develop the market, effect sales and handle implementation and service for EnterpriseIQ customers. The first IQMS Asia office opened in Kaohsiung, Tawian, with a second office planned for Shanghai, China in March and a third planned for Hong Kong before the end of 2005.

IQMS has introduced two language versions to serve manufacturers in Asia. EnterpriseIQ is available in Simplified Chinese, for companies on the mainland, and Traditional Chinese, for companies in Taiwan and portions of South Eastern China. The new language versions allow manufacturers to connect operations in other countries with plants in China. EnterpriseIQ is also available in English, German, Dutch, Swedish and Spanish.

"As manufacturers in China turn to automation and in particular ERP systems to improve productivity, IQMS can play a key role in delivering bottom-line value. Clearly, China is a win-win for IQMS and our manufacturing customers," said Randy Flamm, president of IQMS.

"IQMS based solutions are ideal for the highly dynamic manufacturing market in Asia. IQMS Asia is uniquely suited to support this market because we can provide sales, support and implementation services in the local language. Our knowledge of local customs helps our customers bring their ERP projects to a successful conclusion in the shortest time possible," said Eddy Fang, president of IQMS Asia.

Last month, IQMS began implementing EnterpriseIQ for the Shanghai operations for two new customers, Elbridge, NY-based Tessy Plastics, and Swiss company Mikron. IQMS expects five more additional customers to come online in the next 12 months.
